Coming back to a question from some time ago ...

I recognize that in the UK and Canada doctors are mostly employees of the respective national health services.

It's tomorrow in our local paper (and this evening online):
- senior residents/specialist registrars (= doctors being on their five years period of becoming associate specialists/fellows) get 60,000 ($92,000) gross salary (including four stand-by duties),
- associate specialists/fellows (= fully qualified specialists) get 80,000 ($123,000) gross salary (including four stand-by duties).
For both: 42 hours/week regular working time, between 28 and 30 days vacancies (depending on age) etc
There's no difference on what discipline these doctors work or are specialised in.
(And since I've found the tariff online: a first senior physician gets 100,000 = $154,000)
